A Knapsack Intersection Hierarchy Applied to All-or-Nothing Flow in Trees

Adam Jozefiak, F. Bruce Shepherd, Noah Weninger

We introduce a natural knapsack intersection hierarchy for strengthening linear programming relaxations of packing integer programs, i.e., where…

A Parameterized Family of Meta-Submodular Functions

Mehrdad Ghadiri, Richard Santiago, Bruce Shepherd

Submodular function maximization has found a wealth of new applications in machine learning models during the past years. The related supermodular maximization models (submodular m…

When Do Gomory-Hu Subtrees Exist?

Guyslain Naves, F. Bruce Shepherd

Gomory-Hu (GH) Trees are a classical sparsification technique for graph connectivity. It is one of the fundamental models in combinatorial optimization which also continually finds…

Multi-Agent Submodular Optimization

Richard Santiago, F. Bruce Shepherd

Recent years have seen many algorithmic advances in the area of submodular optimization: (SO) , where is a given family of feasible…

The Inapproximability of Maximum Single-Sink Unsplittable, Priority and Confluent Flow Problems

F. Bruce Shepherd, Adrian Vetta

We consider single-sink network flow problems. An instance consists of a capacitated graph (directed or undirected), a sink node and a set of demands that we want to send to th…

Shortest Path versus Multi-Hub Routing in Networks with Uncertain Demand

Alexandre Fréchette, F. Bruce Shepherd, Marina K. Thottan +1

We study a class of robust network design problems motivated by the need to scale core networks to meet increasingly dynamic capacity demands. Past work has focused on designing th…
